Spiritual Notes:
The name Elisha means “the Lord saves.” As a
disciple of the prophet Elijah, he continues to call
Israel to remain faithful in a time when many were
worshiping other gods. As Elijah had multiplied
oil and grain for the widow as a sign that he was
a “man of God,” so too, Elisha feeds a hundred
with twenty barley loaves. This recalls the manna
provided through Moses in the wilderness and
also anticipates the messianic banquet, at which
the Lord will feed the people. For us as Christians,
it also anticipates Jesus’ miracle of the loaves and
fish. A miracle found in all four Gospels. The author
of Ephesians urges us to “live in a manner worthy
of the call you have received.” As Christians, we
share “one faith, one Baptism” and so are united
in Christ. Through our common Baptism, we share
in God’s life, nurtured by the gift of the Eucharist.
Today, we begin to read from the Gospel of John.
For five Sundays, we will her from John’s sixth
chapter which narrates the miracle of the loaves
and fish and gives us Jesus’ Bread of Life discourse.
John tells us that the “Jewish feast of Passover was
near.” The unleavened bread eaten by the Hebrews
when they left Egypt and the manna God provided
for them in the wilderness are two items associated
with the feast. Philip’s comment that “two hundred
days’ wages worth of food” would not satisfy the
crowd serves to emphasize the size of the crowd
and the extent of the miracle. Starting with “five
barley loaves and two fish,” Jesus provides enough
so that the crowd “had their fill” and still there is
enough left over to fill “twelve wicker baskets.”
Like the wine at Cana, which was better than the
wine that ran out, this extravagant supply of food
indicates that in Jesus, God gives us quality gifts in
abundance. For reflection: Do I consider the Eucharist
bread for the journey? When have I experienced God’s
overwhelming generosity?

St. Joseph 2014 Festival Raffle Winners
The third weekend in July has come and gone, the
Family Life Center and TCCES parking lots are empty,
telling us that St. Joseph Festival 2015 is now history. A
history that once again includes the hard work of more
than 200 volunteers. We can’t begin to list the names,
for surely many would be missed. Men using vacation
days to organize and set up all of the electrical needs.
Men and youth doing back breaking work in the heat
and humidity of July to set up and tear down tents,
erect fence, stages, putt-putt golf. Men and women
cooking homemade swiss steak, spaghetti dinners,
chicken halves, and tamales. Volunteers calling other
volunteers to stand in the heat and behind grills, others
provide the opportunity for gambling, and sell tickets.
An entire parish of volunteers and employees working
long into the night to provide food, entertainment,
and to clean up the mess left behind. Whole families
working together to arrange for raffle prizes and find
festival sponsors, distribute posters and put up lawn
signs, others counting money, and selling beer and wine.
Ladies made homemade crafts for the past year to sell.
Youth provided a safe environment for children to play.
These volunteers, plus hundreds of parish members that
came out to celebrate and support the parish by spending
their treasures each day. Others made generous gifts of
money and goods to make our festival possible. It takes
one amazing community of believers united with the
blessings of God to celebrate together as we did this July
17th, 18th, and 19th.
Thank you and may God bless you throughout the next
year, until we come together again, next July 15-17 2016.

St. Joseph Parish needs you!
Have you ever heard the call to proclaim the Word of
God or distribute the Body and Blood of Christ? If so, you
have felt the desire to live out your Baptismal promises as
an Extraordinary Minister of the Word and/or Eucharist.
And, now is the perfect time to answer that call. St.
Joseph Parish is in need of Lectors and Eucharistic
Ministers who are willing to minister on a regular basis
at the Sunday liturgy. No previous experience is needed
to become a liturgical minister. In order to become an
Extraordinary Minister of the Word or an Extraordinary
Minister of the Eucharist, one must be a practicing
Catholic in full communion with the Church having
received the Sacraments of Baptism, Holy Eucharist,
and Confirmation; be able to attend a brief orientation
session; and be willing to serve the people of the parish
as a Lector or Eucharistic Minister as needed during the
celebration of the liturgy.
If you are interested in becoming a liturgical minister,
contact the Parish Office at (330) 364-6661.

la Capilla.
El nombre Eliseo significa “Dios es salvación.” Como
discípulo del profeta Elías, sigue llamando a Israel a
permanecer fieles en una época en que muchos adoraban
a otros dioses. Como Elías tenía aceite multiplicado y
el grano para la viuda como una señal de que él era
un “hombre de Dios,” también Eliseo alimenta cien
con “veinte panes de cebada”. Esto recuerda el maná
previsto por medio de Moisés en el desierto y también
anticipa el banquete mesiánico, en el que el Señor
alimentará a la gente. Para nosotros, como cristianos,
esto también anticipa el milagro de Jesús de los panes
y los peces, un milagro que se encuentra en los cuatro
Evangelios. El autor de Efesios nos impulsa a “vivir de
una manera digna del llamamiento que han recibido”.
Como cristianos compartimos “una sola fe, un solo
bautismo”, y así están unidos en Cristo. A través de
nuestro bautismo común, la vida de Dios, alimentada por
el don de la Eucaristía. Hoy comenzamos a leer desde
el Evangelio de Juan. Durante cinco Domingo vamos a
saber del sexto capítulo de Juan, que narra los milagros
de los panes y los peces y nos da el pan del discurso Vida
de Jesús. Juan nos dice que “la fiesta judía de la Pascua
estaba cerca”. El pan sin levadura comido por los hebreos
cuando salieron de Egipto y el maná Dios proporcionó
para ellos en el desierto, están dos cosas asociados a esta
fiesta. El comentario de Felipe que “doscientos jornales
dignos de los alimentos” no satisfacía la multitud sirve
para enfatizar el numero de la multitud y la magnitud
del milagro. Comenzando con “cinco panes de cebada
y dos peces”, Jesús provee lo suficiente para que la
multitud “tuviera su ración”, y todavía hay suficiente de
sobra para llenar “doce cestas de mimbre”. Al igual que
el vino de Cana, que era mejor que el vino que se acabó,
este suministro extravagante de alimento indica que en
Jesús, Dios nos da dones de calidad en abundancia.
Para reflexionar: ¿Considero el pan Eucarístico para
la jornada? ¿Cuándo he experimentado la generosidad
inmensa de Dios?
